The Dead Sea Scrolls

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

In early 1947, a teenage Bedouin herder was looking for a lost goat from his flock when he came upon a cave near the Dead Sea. 

Randomly, he threw a stone into the cave and was surprised to hear not the sound of the stone hitting a cave wall but rather the breaking of pottery. 

He found a collection of clay jars, some of which were still sealed, containing scrolls wrapped in linen. 

This accidental discovery began one of the greatest archeological discoveries of the 20th century. 

Learn more about the Dead Sea Scroll, how they were found, and what they contain on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
